Description
The invention relates to a centre pedestal for an aircraft cockpit and an aircraft comprising such a pedestal.
An airplane type aircraft will be considered in the following, to simplify the description.
The context of the invention is research to achieve a global improvement to aircraft nose cones. Within this framework, all major components of cockpits are concerned and particularly the centre pedestal, usually integrated into all instrument panels and glareshield panels.
Such a centre pedestal shown in FIG. 1 is located on the deck of the cockpit between the two pilots. In the cockpit 10, in particular the centre pedestal 11, the side benches 12, the instrument panels 13 and the glareshield panel 14 are shown. As shown in FIGS. 2A, 2B and 2C , the centre pedestal 11 comprises a number of items of major equipment for flying an aircraft, namely particularly:
-
- aircraft left and right engine thrust controls 20 and 21,
- slat and
flap controls - landing gear extension controls 24,
- navigation and radio controls,
- the CDU (Control Display Unit) type display means 26, 27, 28,
- INTERNET function piloting control means 31 and 32,
- trim compensation means 29.
This equipment is located on an upper plane of the centre pedestal 11 and is very accessible for the pilots, while being supported by a mechanical frame 30. This equipment is fixed individually on the centre pedestal, for example by a screw located in each corner of its front face. Its electrical power supplies are also made individually and usually based on wire connections.
The pedestal according to prior art shown in FIGS. 2A, 2B and 2C comprises a variety of disparate equipment (control levers, electronic boxes, keyboard, etc.), individually fixed to the frame 30, wiring 33 being used for each equipment. The frame 30 is a complex mechanical assembly composed of a perforated structure that is not very rigid and is weakened because it provides individual integration to each equipment. The integration of equipment on the frame 30 is difficult (weight, volume and stiffness). The environment of the instrument panels 13 and this pedestal 11 is very dense because the wiring of equipment is difficult and an access through the front deck (manhole) is necessary.
The purpose of this invention is to radically overcome all these disadvantages by integrating an assembly that in the past was composed of a multitude of equipment located on a frame, as a single module.
The invention relates to an aircraft cockpit centre pedestal for the attachment of control and instrumentation equipment for this aircraft, characterised in that the centre pedestal comprises:
-
- an equipment module comprising controls connected to at least one first electrical connector,
- a single-piece frame comprising an upper face provided with a recess comprising at least one second electrical connector installed at the bottom of the recess and connected to computers onboard this aircraft, in which this equipment module is installed, the at least one first electrical connector of the equipment module being inserted into at least one second electrical connector so as to connect the controls of the equipment module and these onboard computers.
Advantageously, the connection wiring of the equipment module is multiplexed wiring. The first electrical connectors centralised on the front face of the equipment module are inserted in second electrical connectors installed at the bottom of the recess. The single-piece frame is made from a composite sandwich, for example from Nomex honeycomb carbon. The frame comprises:
-
- at least two and for example four attachment points in the lower part to fix it onto the cockpit deck.
In one variant embodiment, the frame comprises an articulated upper face, for example by means of two lateral actuators. The centre pedestal of the invention can then release a very significant volume in the zone located underneath and in the front dead zone.
There are many possible ways of using the volume thus generated:
-
- integration of a folding seat for use by a central observer under the centre pedestal,
- integration of oxygen cylinders for use in the cockpit,
- integration of a system module, for example a small electrical first aid core or a small emergency avionics bay (optimised position considering risks in this zone),
- integration of a storage compartment dedicated to the crew, this compartment possibly being extracted from the back by slides or rollers,
- integration of a removable cooled icebox or a toilet,
- storage of a bag or small cases.
The centre pedestal according to the invention shown in FIGS. 3A to 3D has the following characteristics:
-
- the equipment is grouped in a
single equipment module 40, for example a parallelepiped-shaped module with the particular feature of integrating mainly mechanical and electrical equipment, - the
equipment module 40 is integrated into arecess 45, for example parallelepiped in shape, formed in the upper part of asupport frame 41, for example a horizontal part, using a fast insertion device (second electrical connectors 43), - the equipment module largely makes use of a multiplexed wiring principle to significantly reduce the
wiring 42, - the
support frame 41 that is supported on the deck 34 of the cockpit, is made in a single piece, for example made from a composite sandwich, providing very good stiffness combined with low mass.
- the equipment is grouped in a
The equipment module 40 is composed of a single element advantageously provided with first electrical connectors 58 centralised on the front face in order to provide a “Racking” type connection, for example with automatic insertion of these first connectors due to appropriate guidance and locking. This equipment module uses an electrical technology of the digital bus type in preference, facilitating an extreme reduction in wiring. This equipment module 40 forms a single housing, inside which each control is connected by multiplexed signals to aircraft computers that form interfaces between these housings and aircraft systems, the functions performed by the equipment in the pedestal according to prior art being shifted into these computers. This equipment module 40 can achieve significant savings particularly in terms of mass, heat, wiring, cost, stiffness, aircraft integration.
The frame 41 shown in FIGS. 4A to 4C , is made of a single piece made from a composite sandwich, for example Nomex honeycomb carbon, which gives excellent stiffness for low mass.
This frame 41 comprises:
-
- at least two, and for example four
attachment points 52 in the lower part to fix it onto the cockpit deck, - at least two attachment points 53 in the upper part to fix it onto the cockpit instrument panels,
- an upper face, for example horizontal, comprising a
recess 45 in which theequipment module 40 can be fitted, advantageously comprising: - second
electrical insertion connectors 43, performing the function of theequipment module 40 after electrical insertion, - two reinforced
zones 54, - an impact-
protection 55 achieved by insert moulding on the periphery of this horizontal face.
- at least two, and for example four
The invention can release a very significant volume 60 under the centre pedestal and in the front dead zone as shown in FIG. 6 .
In one variant embodiment of the invention, the upper face of the frame 41 supporting the equipment module 40 is articulated by means of two actuators arranged on the side, not shown in the figures. The operation to raise this upper face may be done manually. In this case, after the safety devices have been released, this upper face is raised up to the top stop. The actuators are there simply for guidance and for power assistance (same principle as car rear door assistance actuators). FIGS. 7A, 7B, 7C thus show this upper face of the centre pedestal according to the invention, in the low position, in the high position and in a superposition of these two positions respectively, showing the space saving 61.
But this operation to raise the upper face may also be done automatically, for example using a hydraulic-electric system.
The main advantage of this variant embodiment is that it releases more space, it gives better access from the top to the bottom so that other equipment can be integrated in the deck under the centre pedestal, and it facilitates maintainability towards the front and possibly facilitates access to the pilots' seats.
